That rules out (b).<BR/><BR/>The editorial also fails to take into account other problems, like lower-than-projected October retail sales (not Obama's fault), lower revised projection for holiday retail sales (not Obama's fault), 25-year-high unemployment statistics (not Obama's fault), projected lower demand for technology sales (not Obama's fault), continued difficulty accessing credit (not Obama's fault), etc. (not Obama's fault), all of which have been in the news over the past few days.
